Lecture 6 - The Academic Study of Video Games

The topic of this week is video games. Video games is quite popular now, its a production of the new technology. To compare with the traditional ones, such as TV and newspaper, video games can be more animated and interactive with the players.

I just played them few times before, not only because its waste time also due to nearly all the video games have been used in commercial ways now. For example the World of Warcraft, the players need to buy the special weapons on line in order enhance the skill of the role. The game company owe money from the players and they pay salary to their staafs in different departments such as designer, IT, marketing… I should say a successful video game is a combination of all skills.

However, what attract the people a lot should be they can do what they can’t in real world and also be the kind of people they want. They also got a chance to meet the people around the world, talk to them and play together. Frankly, I should say that some video games need strategy to pass and can improve their ability of team work.
